My nephew has a 98 600 SRX with about 1500 miles and a bad stator. It runs good up to 6000 rpms, and then cuts out, He's says that a screw fell inside and chewed up the stator. He's the second owner, he bought it from his brother-in-law for his wife to ride. He said she's not into it enough for it to be worth fixing it, so he wanted to know if I want it. I'm interested, I haven't seen the sled in a couple years, but he said it was in real nice shape, I trust him...

What do you think, is it worth $800 with a bad stator?
 

Guess that is up to you, but if it was really clean I wouldn't be afraid of it. What's a stator for one of those cost? $250ish? Easy job to swap at home, so if for $1100 you could have a new new to you ride.
 
I'm thinking about doing it. I just need to have my thoughts down, to convince the other half, that this is a good deal. If you know what I mean. As far as the flywheel goes, I'm not sure, he didn't mention it.
 
If it is truely in as good a shape he says it is, then yes buy it. Like others have said, a couple hundred bucks and some greasy hands and you got a rockin sled. Pitch it to the wife as an investment. You have it as an extra sled and if you want to you can sell it.....To me for 1k :mrgreen:
 
I paid $1500 for my 99 600 like 4 years ago. Sadly I've dumped way more than that into it (front and rear suspension, motor, controls, track, etc...), but it works real well for how I ride now. They are a great little sled/motor.
 
Lots of different options, you could bolt a $750 700 engine in there and have $1500 into an SRX 700, then sell the 600 motor for $400 and have a total investment of $1100 into an SRX 700..... For $800 you really can't go wrong if it's in decent shape. If you don't want it I'll take it, lol...
